Help Requested! - Installing D2Ex2
Hello!
I recently rediscovered Diablo II and as such my friends and I have been playing on a virtual lan together for the past few days. As we're mostly casual gamers we are used to newer games having higher resolution settings. I came across a mod by @lolet called D2Ex2, but I am having some serious issues finding any up-to-date information on how to get this thing installed and running.
I am on 1.13d as the github readme states this requires (or 1.11b) and I've got as far as downloading the D2Ex2_113d.dll from the releases tab and adding it to the root directory of my Diablo II folder, but past that I am lost. I have also been trying to compile the project from source to see if that yields any better results, but I am running into issues on that front as well.
If someone could give me some much needed guidance I would be very appreciative! Or if you could direct me in the right direction of achieving the same result of a higher resolution that this mod offers, that would also be great.
Thanks!

The dll need be read by game. Either use plugy or d2se Both supports to add custom dll

I am also having problems with D2Ex2. I keep getting a "disk read error" warning when Diablo II starts up. I've tried installing every C++ Redistributable package up until 2015 and I tried installing almost every .net framework up until 4.7 and it still won't work.

You should create your own project, the source code on github is the basis for you.

I can run the basic file fine through D2SE, but I can't compile the rest, I get this error:
So I guess those sed and grep are the problem
There is also some build.h which doesn't exist, someone said "you can use build.h from another release or that you can create a radnom one"....but how
It would be great if someone who use visual studio could check into this.
It seems that mod has some nice options, but also I'm sure there is a lot more after you build the files, if you are able to of course:

Re: Help Requested! - Installing D2Ex2
Try changing the build settings to 'Release 1.13d' instead of Debug. I can build it fine on VS2013, but I keep getting multiple errors when the game loads and if I build it with multires, D2 won't even load at all.
